Working Parties

So you have woken up, drawn the curtains to be welcomed by another cold, damp day with the prospect of another monotonous day at work……

Fed up with the everyday routine of life?

Frustrated by your hard work not being appreciated?

Disheartened by being ignored by people plodding through life?

Sound familiar?

Imagine this………Lying in bed being woken up by the warmth of the tropical sun radiating through the room, warming your skin, knowing that when you start your day you will be greeted by the smiling coast, people that are not concerned by material possessions but are content with life.

Interested?

The Lisa Kent Trust has the ability to give you the opportunity to change your life with our tailor made working party trips. Whether you are a Sixth form or Gap year student, fancy the most rewarding work experience/ working holiday or just want to be involved in one of the fastest growing charities in The Gambia and have a true insight into African culture then come experience the smiling coast, the warmth of the people, a world not revolving around material possessions, the opportunity to feel your work highly appreciated, be involved in the development of one of our school partnerships, helping the future of The Gambia gain the best start to their life.
